CUA - Central User Administration

9) What is the procedure to delete a role ?
First add the role that need to be deleted in a Transport.
Then delete it. If there is no transport already, then create one for it and then add the role marked for deletion to it and then only we have to delete the role.
If the role is deleted without adding it to a transport then we will not be able to delete the same role in other systems like Acceptance / Quality / Production in CUA Environment.

10) What is the main difference between role and profile ?
Roles are the set of authorizations.
Profiles are sub component of roles.
We can assign role to user but not profile.

Roles are collection of different transactions, reports/web links where its profile is nothing but set of authorizations which defines the behavior of transactions listed in Role Menu. And another difference could be we canassign roles to user using PFCG but we cannot assign manually created or generated profile directly to users using PFCG.
